Weekly best build poll

calvinweb · Post by **calvinweb** » March 4th, 2003, 2:15 am

I've seen this suggested, and lot's of people ask the question. Maybe it's possible to run it more frequently.

The idea is to have a poll on what is the best build available (in terms of the build you would most like to use forever).

What's needed to create a poll ?
the one this week would have

* Milestone 0.5
* Build 2002-12-28
* Build 2003-01-31
* Build 2003-02-21
* Build 2003-02-23
1 Build 2003-02-26
4 Build 2003-03-03
* None of the above

The list would be changed every week (or a new poll created).

Right now my favorite is: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030303 Phoenix/0.5

me, too! 20030303 is a great built at least for me (but I don't use any extensions - just pure PX!)!

Major / most annoying bugs for me still in there are #182695 and #184202

Polls were banned in most forums because some people thought they were being overdone. You can still create polls in Mozillazine After Dark.

I have progressed from 12/28 to 1/31 to 2/21 to 2/26.

I've read some nice comments about 3/3, but I think I'll wait for the reviews of 3/4 before making the next move.

UPDATE:

Now using March 4, and it looks ok so far.

Even if a polls were available, I don't think they'd be useful for this, unless you made a new poll each day. Or allowed people to retract and change their vote as a new build is released.

The current method seems to work well; a thread for each build, and people say what they see different or problematical about it. I use that to decide if I should install a nightly or not. I try to keep as current as possible without losing TBE.

Another vote for 20030303 - I've been using it all day without any problems. I had to fix the TBE issue, but otherwise it is a good build.

I think the main advantage this build has over 20030221 is that the Bookmark Context Menus are back. Only main problem I see, however, is that the Bookmark Manager icons (using Qute) are all jumbled together.

I agree with 2002-12-28 and 2003-02-21, but of the late January builds, I prefer 2003-01-29.

2003-03-03 requires special handling. You must not start with a new profile, at least with Win XP. But check the 2003-03-03 build thread. There are some other issues.

My list of Golden Builds for Windows:

2002-11-14
2002-12-28
2003-01-29
2003-02-21

I can't really recommend a March build yet.

I haven't experienced this?

The 11-Mar-2003 built runs perfectly! I like the new Option menu and the browser starts faster and renders pages faster. My sincere compliments to the developers!

I used 2003-02-21 for a while before switching to 2003-03-04 yesterday. They both seem fairly stable to me.

We are using the:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030304 Phoenix/0.5

Wich is the one that seemes to be working best - so far.

Tried it yesterday and it crashed several times. For now, my vote goes to March 4 (Win ME)
